Find your recorder — Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire is coming to Netflix. You’ll be able to devour the horror drama’s seven-episode first season, along with a dozen more AMC shows, starting this month (plus two more coming in January 2025).
Interview with the Vampire initially premiered in October 2022, raising the curtain for a new take on author Anne Rice’s novel characters Louis de Pointe du Lac (Game of Thrones’ Jacob Anderson) and his vampire companion Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). Their supernatural love story — and the ensuing drama that it creates — beckons viewers on a spellbinding journey that spans more than a century. There will be blood, but also swoons and heartbreak, as Louis learns immortality is rarely a salve for life’s great problems. More often than not, it only creates greater monsters.
Whether you’re well initiated into the Vampire coven, or just curious about joining this fang fam, you’ve probably got a few questions — just like interviewer Daniel Molloy (Reptile’s Eric Bogosian). So keep reading to satiate your thirst about all things Interview with the Vampire, from details on its plot and cast, to a full rundown of all the AMC shows coming to Netflix in the US beginning Aug. 19.
The horror of life, death, love, and the concept of eternity (with a dash of theatrical camp) — like most vampire-based fiction. At least, technically.
But, if you’re wondering what happens in Interview with the Vampire, that all comes down to the title. The series centers on the titular interview between aging journalist Daniel and his subject, Louis, a nearly 150-year-old vampire. The two previously did an unpublished interview about 50 years prior in San Francisco, and Louis now wants to set the record straight.
The result is a time-jumping tale of how a Creole brothel owner in turn-of-the-20th-century New Orleans became a Dubai-living immortal. Starting in 1910, we follow Louis as he falls in love with his vampiric maker, Lestat. The pair share a complicated, unforgettable romance that spans several decades — not to mention, shades of morality.
If this is all sounding familiar, there’s a reason for that — and it’s not that some immortal has been toying with your memories (they would never do that!). Interview with the Vampire the TV show, created by playwright Rolin Jones, is inspired by Anne Rice’s 1976 novel of the same name. It also has roots in Rice’s wider Vampire Chronicles book series. These same literary influences were the basis for 1994’s BAFTA-nominated, velvet-heavy film Interview with the Vampire, starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Christian Slater, and The Power of the Dog’s Kirsten Dunst.
However, Jones and team have made some important changes from these previous incarnations. In the series, Louis is no longer a white 1790s enslaver. Instead, he is a 1910s Black businessman. And, the queer subtext of Interview — and many vampire stories — becomes text, as Louis and Lestat are the core couple of Season 1. You’ll have to watch Interview with the Vampire to find out what other updates lurk in its deadly heart.
